Visit the exhibition in the newly reopened Attic on the top floor.

SUMMARY:Private View: The Reopened Attic and An Exhibition of Mini Museums
DESCRIPTION:Join us for drinks and an exclusive viewing of the Museum’s newly restored Attic and exhibition of Mini Museums\, made by the people of Cambridgeshire.\n\nDate: 19th September 2023\nTime: 7pm-9pm.\nVenue: Museum of Cambridge\, 2-3 Castle Street\, Cambridge CB3 0AQ\n\nAttendees at this private view will get the chance to explore the newly restored Attic and our exhibition of locally-made Mini Museums\, all while the Museum is closed to the public. \nGuests will be greeted with a glass of something special on arrival before being given a chance to explore the new exhibit and recently restored Attic on the Museum’s top floor. \nYou’ll be able to visit the Museum shop which is chock-full of items made by local artists and craftspeople. We also stock books by local authors highlighting our rich regional history. There is something for everyone! Plus\, every purchase in the shop supports the ongoing development of this fabulous museum. \nBook your spot via Eventbrite: https://privateview.eventbrite.co.uk \nThe Reopening of the Attic \nThe Museum’s Attic has been closed to the public since March 2020 and reopened for the first time in August 2023. The Attic has received extensive restoration by our landlords\, Cambridge City Council\, to repair damage caused by rot and woodworm. This repair involved completely reconstructing the attic dormer and installing new oak timbers and plaster walls using specialised heritage techniques.  \nMini Museums Exhibition\nIn January 2023\, we launched the Mini Museums programme in Cambridgeshire\, inviting residents to design their very own Mini Museum. Our goal was to discover what was important to the people of the region and what cherished memories or objects they would want to represent in their very own miniature museum. \nThe response we received was astounding. Almost 3000 people participated in the programme in just two months\, creating Mini Museums at home\, attending workshops\, and engaging with us at our pop-up stalls. Demand was so high that we ran further workshops throughout the summer of 2023\, engaging even more communities in the programme. \nThe Mini Museums created by the residents of Cambridgeshire are truly remarkable\, showcasing the creativity and passion of our community –and this new exhibition celebrates just that. The Mini Museums on display depict everyday activities that hold deep meaning to local residents\, such as punting on the River Cam\, swimming in the Lido\, exploring the Fens\, visiting museums\, enjoying Sunday lunches in the pub\, and playing footie in the park. \nYou can find out more about the project here. \nDo book your ticket via Eventbrite. Admission is £5.50 and all proceeds go towards supporting the word of the Museum in caring for and sharing the local histories of Cambridge and the surrounds. \nIf you need help booking\, please email us at enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk or call us at 01223 355159. We look forward to seeing you there! \nAccessibility  \nYou can also read about our accessibility information on our website.
